Pakistan is an oblong stretch of land between the Arabian sea and Karakoram mountains, Lying diagonally between 24 N and 37 N latitudes and 61 E and 75 E longitudes, Area of 87.98 million hectares. The country has a continuous massive mountainous tract in the north, the west and south- west and a large fertile plain, the Indus plain. The mountain slopes are steep. The valleys are narrow. The nature of climate with high intensity rainfall in summer and of soil in the northern regions render these mountains prone to landslides.

Today, Clearing away rainforests is a much more than 20 000 square kilometer of rainforest a month with giant machine. They are making huge farms for animal ranching, growing rice, sugar cane, palm oil, rubber and other tropical corps. Often, the soil is severely eroded because the canopy is no longer there to protect it from being washed away. Scientists are worried that the rainforests will disappear, taking with them other medicinal drugs that have yet to be discovered. Many environmental organizational are fighting to save rainforests.

The concept of reforestation should be encouraged to match the rapidly Increasing phenomena of deforestation. To avoid pollution and global warming, deforestation has to be reduced. We need to save endangered species of animals such as Pandas. Forests are home to many animals that provide us with skin for Clothes, meat to eat, milk and other dairy products. Hurting their natural Habitat would result in a disruption in the food chain for humans. Cutting down forests also results in increased surface run off and hence Increases the risk of floods.
